As we spent more time watching the buffalo, I noticed the differences in the bulls. Some were "lunars", because their horns swept back in a graceful curve, a half-moon shape. Others had horns that were flatter, stretching out almost straight from their skulls, a "sweeper", and it was this type I had my heart set on. The magic score for a good buffalo is 100 inches, a combination of each horn`s length and the circumference of the base, and we analyzed each bull for these qualities.
